Subject:Maintenance of a Wood Trellis - 105B Gough Avenue (Don River)

Purpose:

To report on the homeowner's request to maintain a wood trellis within the City's right-of-way fronting 105B Gough Avenue. As there is no specific provisions for this type of installation in the former City of Toronto Municipal Code, I am required to report on this matter.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Not applicable.

Recommendation:

That City Council approve the maintenance of a wood trellis within the City's right-of-way fronting 105B Gough Avenue, subject to the property owner entering into an encroachment agreement with the City of Toronto, as prescribed under Chapter 313 of the former City of Toronto Municipal Code.

Comments:

Ms. Paulette Moser, co-owner of 105B Gough Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M4K 3N9, submitted an application dated November 17, 1998, requesting permission to maintain a wood trellis within the City's right-of-way fronting 105B Gough Avenue.

Staff have inspected the area in the immediate vicinity of this property and have determined that the trellis does not impact negatively on the public right-of-way.

In addition, I am in receipt of two letters and a petition from the neighbours supporting the maintenance of this structure.

Details of this trellis and the letters from the area residents are retained on file with this Department.

Conclusions:

As this trellis does not impact negatively on the public right-of-way, the trellis should be permitted to remain.
